Yandards 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Was in the middle of changing my FK's to Koni TA's and H&R's when I noticed this, decided it would make a good photo so here it is. 1st prize of absolutely nothing goes to the first person to correctly identify the reflected car. And yes I know my car needs a wash! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Triumph GT6 (Spitfire Coupe ;) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Good spot henny but spitfire coupe is a bit off the mark, the largest engine they put in a spit was a 4 cylinder 1500, the GT6 has a 2L straight 6. Lots of fun in the wet on roundabouts :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted June 22, 2005 OK, so what are the chassis and running gear (not to mention a large chunk of the body panels) from then? :-P Yup, I'll stick by my Spitfire Coupe description... My uncle has 2 of 'em and my other uncle used to have one too... I love 'em to bits! 8) Post up some pics of it anyway... is it yours? 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted June 22, 2005 isnt that like calling a corrado a golf coupe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted June 22, 2005 chrishill, OK, how many exterior body panels does the Corrado share with the Golf? NONE... Look at the pics I just posted of the GT6 and the Spitfire and tell me that's the same for those! ;) Hell, even the official owners club is the "Spitfire AND GT6 owners club"... :roll: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted June 22, 2005 True, but you could also say it was a Vitesse/Herald based on the chassis, (Triumph early platform engineering!) and the driveshafts are unique to the GT6, rubber doughnuts join the two halfshafts. It does share some body panels with the spit, but the running gear - g'box, diff and engine are shared with the Vitesse. It just doesn't know where is comes from - bit of a bastard offering really! Best bit is the tax and insurance though, tax free and insurance for a group 18 car fully comp unlimted mileage for under £125! (That was with 0% no claims to but over 25) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted June 22, 2005 at the end of the day, it's still a nice looking classic BRITISH sports car... 8) (need some photos of it in this thread though! ;) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
